Chapter 1388 1391: Becoming a Superstar!
"Our film has a budget of one billion, and it's a massive production. He was tempted and wanted a role, even a supporting one, so he called me to inquire," Wei Fang said earnestly.
Xu Hao was rendered speechless upon hearing this.
What kind of caliber is Hua Zi as an actor?
He's a big shot!
Directors treat actors like him with the utmost care!
And he actually wants to act in their new movie, and in such a begging manner?
Don't be ridiculous!
This is just enough to deceive girls like Bing Wanxin who don't understand these things.
Bing Wanxin, unaware of the deceit, hurriedly asked, "Director Wei, which film company are you with? Can I know?"
Wei Fang immediately responded, "Of course, I can tell you. The film company behind me is the renowned Splendid Entertainment Company in Quan Huaya City. Our company has produced many movies and cultivated numerous stars. The most famous among the Four Little Heavenly Queens now, Chen Suyi, is a signed artist with our Splendid Entertainment Company. Chen Suyi can earn one or two billion Huaya Currency a year.
And she only sings. If she was acting in movies, she'd earn even more. For each film, you'd get tens of millions in remuneration. If you take on three or four, five or six projects a year, you'd make several billion Huaya Currency!"
Xu Hao's face was immediately speechless, Chen Suyi of their Splendid Entertainment Company?
Don't be ridiculous!
And what is this renowned Splendid Entertainment Company in Quan Huaya City; can you not make your boasting so flawed?
Xu Hao had never even heard of this Splendid Entertainment Company; it's obviously just a shell company!
However, Xu Hao couldn't be bothered to interrupt their conversation, he just wanted Bing Wanxin to see the perils of the world and be a bit smarter in the future.
But Bing Wanxin was instantly intrigued, what Wei Fang said was so enticing. She didn't expect being a star could earn so much money. But she suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "But I can't act. I've never attended any film school or had any acting foundation."
Yet Wei Fang said, "You don't need to worry about that. In fact, whether the audience buys it or not depends on your looks. As long as you look good, many people will be fans of yours. If you look bad, and you still want to rise to fame, it's basically impossible."
Bing Wanxin said with a face full of confusion, "Isn't acting supposed to be about skill? Can someone with no acting skills like me really act? Can you just rely on being pretty?"
"Of course, as I told you, you can take on five or six, seven or eight works a year, and you won't even feel tired. Do you know why?" Wei Fang guided her patiently.
"Why?" Bing Wanxin asked with great curiosity.
"Because for some shoots, you won't need to go to the filming site personally. They just need some of your photos, videos, and then they can use technology to Photoshop you in," Wei Fang explained.
Upon hearing that it was about Photoshopping her image in, Bing Wanxin was instantly stunned.
Of course, she knew what Photoshop meant, but she couldn't understand this behavior and immediately said, "Isn't this deceit? Besides, as far as I know, such technology can be detected. If it gets discovered, wouldn't it be a serious act of fraud?"
Wei Fang burst into laughter: "Hahaha, these are trivial matters and don't really matter. The money we make comes from those dumb fans, and we're so careful that nothing usually happens. Even if something occasionally goes wrong, there's nothing to worry about.
Because there are foolish fans willing to clean up for us, we don't even need to do any PR measures. Let those fans help drive away the people who criticize us. After all, the main money we make is from those dimwitted fans, we don't need to care about the opinions of passersby."
"But I don't have any fame, where would I get those dimwitted fans?" Bing Wanxin still couldn't understand this business model.
"Isn't that simple? With your looks, we can totally use some of the company's energy to establish your persona. Then you can frequently post selfies on forums, and soon you'll have a large following of dimwitted fans. Don't underestimate our company's energy; we can turn you into a very famous star in a very short time!" Wei Fang said very earnestly, his face full of confidence, easily making people believe what he said was true.
Just like Bing Wanxin in front of him, she believed what Wei Fang said, anticipating eagerly: "If it really goes as you say, I could indeed succeed in a very short time. By then, I could have lots of fans and earn lots of money, pay off my debts and still have plenty left over..."
